I'm sitting here absolutely bawling, tears flowing down my face, as I watch The Kings Affection in background. It's a Netflix k-drama, for those that don't know it. Korea is lately putting out some brilliant works.
I'm only about 3/4 through and won't spoil anything by going onto detail. I see homages to Twelfth Night and Roshomon. It's nicely structured.
It's a good love story, but also a recurring theme of some of these Korean dramas is such an honor and dignity and hope through real adversity. It's like the kind of television I watched and plays I worked on even, like Camelot and especially A Man for All Seasons, which was very formative for me.
Things that understand the struggle between Good and Evil is important to see and engage, even where nuance makes the lines between them blurred. These Korean works seem to be targeting an intelligent audience who wants to think. I love the genre, and this one is a good example.
I think at some point the US decided that cynicism sells better than promise, and we have done well in exposing the many ways that society fails people, yet in the process we have somehow managed to deliver a sense of hopelessness and fatalism that is itself a cancer, suggesting the individual might as well just go for what's theirs. I love that these writers are still portraying another path.

I think at some point the US decided that cynicism sells better than promise, and we have done well in exposing the many ways that society fails people, yet in the process we have somehow managed to deliver a sense of hopelessness and fatalism that is itself a cancer, suggesting the individual might as well just go for what's theirs. I love that these writers are still portraying another path.

I'm sitting here absolutely bawling, tears flowing down my face, as I watch The Kings Affection in background. It's a Netflix k-drama, for those that don't know it. Korea is lately putting out some brilliant works.
I'm only about 3/4 through and won't spoil anything by going onto detail. I see homages to Twelfth Night and Roshomon. It's nicely structured.
It's a good love story, but also a recurring theme of some of these Korean dramas is such an honor and dignity and hope through real adversity. It's like the kind of television I watched and plays I worked on even, like Camelot and especially A Man for All Seasons, which was very formative for me.
Things that understand the struggle between Good and Evil is important to see and engage, even where nuance makes the lines between them blurred. These Korean works seem to be targeting an intelligent audience who wants to think. I love the genre, and this one is a good example.
